Return Of The Living Dead 3


Return Of The Living Dead 3 (1993)
Seen on DVD 10th Oct 2008


STORY: 3/7 - (but funny)
Curt and Julie are in love. After an accident which leaves Julie dead, Curt takes her body to his fathers lab where he uses the re-animating gas from all the other "Living Dead" dead movies to bring her back.

ACTING: 3.5/7
Melinda Clarke is hilarious at the best of times.

GORE RATING: 4.5/7

Well, of course there's the obligatory limb ripping and flesh eating but the cake-taker in this movie is Julie's self mutilation as shown on the cover of the DVD.


OVERALL: 4/7

Lots of fun weird zombie action.

Dr. Dolittle 2


Dr Dolittle 2 (2001)
Seen on TV 5th Oct 2008


STORY: 3/7
Now that he's a super famous animal doctor, John Dolittle is being tracked down by animals everywhere. After a beaver asks him to help stop a forest from being cut sown, he has to convince a bear that has lived in captivity to roam in the wild and form a mating pair.

ACTING: 2.5/7
Eddie Murphy annoys me. Steve Zahn was ok as Archie, the bear. The highlight was probably that Joey Lauren Adams (chasing amy) voiced a squirrel.


OVERALL: 2.5

Child's Play 3


Child's Play 3 (1991)
Seen on DVD 2nd Oct 2008

STORY: 5/7
It has been 8 years since Andy encounterred Chucky at his foster home and he has been "disturbed" ever since. Being unable to to be homed through the foster care system, Andy is a new recruit at the Kent Military School. At the same time (co-incidence much) the now dilapidated Good Guy Doll factory goes back into production. The first doll off the line is, of course, everyone's favourite maniac Chucky. He goes in search of Andy as usual, although once at Kent he realises that this is a new body, and he can choose a new victim to transfer his soul into.

ACTING: 5/7
Brad Dourif IS Chucky. Justin Whalin (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) has stepped into the role of teenage Andy Barclay and he does it quite well and the unfortunate role of Chucky's new body-interest Tyler is played (oh-so-annoyingly) by first-timer Jeremy Sylvers.

* Jeremy Sylvers as Tyler *


SCORE / SOUND: 3.5/7
Again, there is nothin all too special here.

GORE RATING: 4.5/7
There's some ok throat slitting and some shooting.

The Lost Boys: The Tribe


Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)
Seen on DVD 2nd Oct 2008

Yes, that's right, it's a LOST BOYS (1987) sequel.
Starring COREY FELDMAN in his role as Edgar Frog.

STORY: 4/7
Siblings Chris and Nicole have just moved to Luna Bay where they meet a whole group of new people. After Nicole goes out for a night with Shane, she comes home different. After going to find the local surfboard shaper Edgar Frog, Chris is told that Nicole is now a vampire. Frog and Chris must work together to destroy the vampires.

ACTING: 4/7
Well, for one, Corey Feldman is in it. He has never been the best actor in the history of time, but has always been opne of the most entertaining to watch! There is also another Sutherland in this movie. Angus Sutherland (walking in the footsteps of half-brother Keifer) is the bad guy Shane.

Edgar Frog: board shaper / vampire hunter


SCORE / SOUND: 4/7
It's an average straight-to-video horror movie soundtrack

GORE RATING: 3/7
To be honest, i don't remmeber anything all that gorey at all, which is sad, considerring it's a vampire movie and they're supposed to be somewhat blood-tastic.

* Angus Sutherland as Shane *



OVERALL: 4/7


Interesting Facts -
- The Goonies appears in this film on DVD
- Corey Feldman was "Mouth" in The Goonies

Chucky's Back!!


STORY: 5.5/7
Since the events of the first movie, Andy Barclay's mother has been put into a mental care institution, and Andy has been put into a foster home. In order to overcome rumours, the creators of the Good Guy Doll put the toy back into production, starting with the actual Chucky doll from the murders. Finding himself back in his doll body, Charles Lee Ray sets out to find Andy and finish what he started.

ACTING: 5/7
Alex Vincent is back as Andy, a little bit older andpretty good at what he does. Of course we have the brilliant Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky and newcomer Christine Elise as Andy's new foster sister Kyle.

* Chucky and Kyle *


SCORE / SOUND: 4/7
It's a pretty good score, nothing all too fantastic, but it's a CHUCKY movie!!

GORE RATING: 5.5/7
Eyeballs are inserted into faces, extra arms and legs are jabbed all over the place... and a knife right into a wrist. This all goes without even mentioning the death-by-toys



OVERALL: 6/7

Chucky is one of the greatest movie slashers ever!
This sequel out-does the original for me too.

George Of The Jungle 2


George Of The Jungle 2 (2003)
Seen on DVD 8th Sept 2008

Watch out for that sequel indeed!

ANGUS T. JONES! Yes, the cute little funny kid from "Two And A Half Men" ! !
And Julie Benz is in it too!

The first movie was self-aware, made jokes at it's own expense and stuff like that... This one, takes it to a whole new level... even to the point of "Me new George. Studio too cheap to pay Brendan Fraser" which makes me smile!!

STORY: 2/7
Unhappy with George and Ursula's happiness, Ursula's mother Beatrice decide's to coax Ursula and Junior back to the city. Then there's Lyle and a hypnotist and a group of angry women and a gambling problem.

ACTING: 4/7
Angus T. Jones! Nuff said?
Christopher Showerman is pretty good at the whole "Me so dumb" gag and he's pretty buff too. (i know that isn't acting, but it's part of the character) Julie Benz (who i love) is actually a little bit annoying at Ursula. Thomas Haden Church is probably the stand out again as Lyle.

OVERALL: 5/7

This movie was FUN!

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed


Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)
Seen on DVD 31st August 2008

I absolutely love "Ginger Snaps" but unfortunately the sequels aren't available anywhere that i can find, so this copy of Ginger Snaps 2 is borrowed from Leilah! (snaps for Leilah)


* This IS a sequel so I'm going to SPOIL the first one for you if you haven't seen it.


STORY: 6/7
- (We can't fight what's in us, B)

So Brigitte has infected herself and Ginger is dead. Most stories probably wouldn't look into what happens next and that's why this is GREAT! B is dosing on monkshood on a daily basis. She is forced to shave her entire body and time how long it takes for a wound to heal. If all of this isn't bad enough, she has become aware that another werewolf is tracking her, with the intention of mating. When she overdoses on the monkshood she finds herself incarcerated in a rehabilitation clinic where she will no longer be able to run.

ACTING: 6/7
- (You're starting to understand, aren't you? How it all starts with wanting?)

Emily Perkins is unbearably good reprising her role as B. The first time around she got to play it naive and scared but this time around she is a LOT darker, always a step ahead and just a little bit sinister. Tatiana Maslany is mentionable as "ghost." A very dark, mysterious and annoying little girl.

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 4.5/7
It's all about the werewolf really. He's big and hairy with teeth!
B also grows her own impressive set teeth.

* The male wolf finds Brigitte *


SCORE / SOUND: 5/7
Pretty Cool.

SONGS: N/A

GORE RATING: 4.5/7
